2018-19 Bus Routes

Transporting our students to and from school everyday is the utmost concern to all of us. The Bald Eagle Area School District has adopted a transportation discipline policy that is necessary to make the ride to and from school a safe ride.

The following behaviors are considered minor policy violations and may require discipline from the appropriate building administrator if the problem cannot be resolved between the student and the bus driver: insubordination to the bus driver, refusing to sit in assigned seat, standing or changing seats while bus is in motion, discourteous to other children, crowding to door before bus stops, pushing and jostling when getting or off the bus, and other offenses as defined in building level policy.

The following behaviors are considered major policy violations and will result in loss of privilege to ride the bus for a period of time: fighting on the bus, smoking or using tobacco in any form, damaging or destroying bus property, throwing any objects, striking matches, cigarette lighters, or lighting fireworks, or other incendiary devices, any conduct that endangers the lives of students or distracts the bus driver, offensive language and/or obscene gestures, controlled substance possession or use, and other offenses as defined in building level policy.

In the event a student’s bus transportation privilege is suspended, parents will receive written notification and be responsible for providing transportation during the suspension.

Questions relating to transportation or transportation policy should be directed to the Director of Transportation at 355-5516.

Students are to be standing out at the bus stops approx. 5 minutes before the scheduled bus times. They are to be at the bus stop, not on porches, in the house, or waiting in vehicles.

Times are approximate, and subject to change due to additions/deletions of students riding.

PLEASE NOTE CHANGES TO BUS #10. IT WILL NOW BE ONLY ONE RUN FOR BOTH HIGH SCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. TIMES ARE APPROXIMATE AND WILL BE ADJUSTED AS NECESSARY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AS WE WORK ON THIS TRANSITION.

ALSO, STOPS ADDED TO ANY BUSES AFTER AUGUST 1 WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE FOLLOWING LISTS.

School bus changes can be made by calling 355-5516. This is especially important if you have moved over the summer or your child has a new sitter. Due to the large number of calls on the first day of school, we suggest that you can with any changes before the first day of school. This will help us determine which bus your child should be riding and the change can be made in time for the bus driver and the school to be notified so your child will arrive at the correct destination.

If it is necessary for your child to ride a different bus on a day, a written request for a bus pass should be sent in on the day that your child is to ride the different bus. Your request should include the child’s name, date, address where your child is going, name of person (not just grandma’s house), bus number, if known, and a phone number where you can be reached if there are any questions regarding your request. Elementary students should give your written request to their classroom teacher. High school students should take the written request to the Attendance Office first thing in the morning to obtain a bus pass. Notes presented later in the day do not guarantee your child will be given a pass.
